anyone remember those old icon computers they had in schools?
they had trackballs.
and i had bought a logitec trackball once, it had an ergonomic shape, and was very comfortable... but unfortunately, i never got used to dealing with it.
and as for any precision comments.... i have a 15$ creative optical mouse here, and i have never had precision problems... i even have it set so that an inch of movement spans the whole screen.
i find that you can, with practice, patience, and skill, achieve good precicion in mice, precision that (in my experience) has equalled any trackball i have ever tried.
the trick isnt in the mous itself, but in a good mousepad.
for opticalmice, get a matte black pad with a wrist rest.
iuf you mousepad is too coloury or shiny, it wont get good precision.
the one thing i couldnt stand about trackballs was gaming. i could get speed, or precision, but i couldnt seem to get the middle ground.
i could whip around real fast, but lost the precision that had with a mouse, or i could move it precisely, but i lose the speed of a mouse.
it was great fro sniping in fps's, and good for turning around when getting shot at... but otherwise, the mouse trumped it.
